Norman Door · Wrong Again, but Who?

When you pull a door that should be pushed, who got it wrong? With no narrator, only on-screen sentences and scenes, the film unpacks a door whose handle says one thing while the sign on it says another.

How the scene was made

90 seconds · 16 cards. The script came first, written with the video script skill (Achmage Video Script), and the film was produced with Motion Art Director. The door and the person are drawn in code, and every sentence appears as thin white type in the same place at the center of the screen. The pictures leave that place empty.

The first version laid the sentences on a band at the bottom of the screen and used synthesized music. After that version was reviewed, the sentences moved to the center, and the piano piece was chosen by listening to three versions made with three open-license recordings. The quotations are translated into Korean from Don Norman’s The Design of Everyday Things (2013).
